Description

從搜尋引擎到社群媒體,演算法篩選成千上萬的資訊,形成了偏見,卻也造就了同溫層。
誰賦予了演算法權力,決定我們看到的一切?工程師、社群平台、意見領袖、普羅大眾?
唯有看透背後的政治運作,才能揭露網路世界的真實!

Facebook、YouTube、Amazon等數位平台已經融入我們的日常,他們使用演算法強大的功能,挑選合宜的資訊,促進便利的生活。但是,也出現質疑的聲浪,認為經過演算法的過濾,反而蒙蔽大眾的視野、造成社會分化、助長不當消息的散播。究竟誰該負起造成這些現象的責任?因此,本書作者泰娜‧布策認為演算法不只是一門計算科學,更是涉及人文社會的跨領域研究。她跳脫程式語言的框架,從臉書動態消息到假新聞的實際案例,探索演算法的具體運用,以及造就的文化形式,透過政治與權力的角度,開創理解演算法的全新視野。


各界推薦

「要真正理解演算法的含義,只知道什麼是演算法,或如何使用演算法是不夠的。你需要有深入的邏輯計算能力,對於社會權力有著靈活的哲學思考,以及充足的生活歷練感受。本書作者泰娜‧布策擁有上述所有條件。在本書中,她對演算法給出了清晰且令人大開眼界的解釋,關於演算法系統(好比臉書)如何為社交生活帶來一種全新的技術。」
──塔爾頓‧葛拉斯彼(Tarleton Gillespie),微軟新英格蘭研究院首席研究員

「如果這本書證明了友誼是可以計算的,那麼它也證明了學識是不可估量的。看到一名年輕學者真正了解演算法文化對日常生活的衝擊,是多麼讓人喜悅。」
──荷雪‧范迪克(Jose van Dijck),荷蘭烏特勒支大學(Utrecht University)人文學院教授

「這本精彩絕倫的好書幫助我們理解,演算法如何推波助瀾,形塑我們在這個世界的際遇與定向。從臉書動態消息到假新聞,作者泰娜‧布策釐清了最重要的問題,並非『什麼是演算法』,而是演算法『在什麼時候、用什麼發法發揮影響力』。」
──全喜卿(Wendy Hui Kyong Chun),加拿大西門菲沙大學(Simon Fraser University)傳播學院教授
